DOMINION FARMERS
TRIBUTE BY LORD BLEDISLOE. COUNTRY’S POTENTIALITIES. ADEQUATE FOR TEN MILLION. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received April 8, 9.55 a.m. LONDON, April 7. Lord Bledisloe, addressing the Chartered Surveyors’ Institution, said that New Zealand farmers, thanks to a higher average education, were more alert-minded than the British and more prepared to test the teachings of modern science. New Zealand pastures put English pastures to shame.. New Zealand was so exceptionally favoured by Nature that she could support ten million, Lord Bledisloe declared. It was a problem of first-rate Imperial importance that New. Zealand could welcome an increasing number of British settlers while certain nations were looking enviously at our under-populated Empire.
